Bending Malcolm — Adrienne Dunning

Can true love forgive and forget? Malcolm Lennox has spent the last fifteen years carefully constructing a brick wall around his heart, determined to never be hurt in love again. He's mastered this over the years, but just one name obliterates all that work: Ainsley Hamilton.  The beauty that has haunted his every dream after completely breaking his heart has returned home at last.  She wants forgiveness, but that's easier said than done.   When Malcolm finds out his ex is now also going to be in his best friend's wedding, the betrayal cuts deep.  Can he find a way to get through this fiasco unscathed, or will his heart, and the armor around it, get broken again? This second-chance romance is book two of the long-awaited Captain's Folly Series, a trilogy of novellas following three members of The Captain's Folly, a pub band featured weekly at The Ship's Inn Tavern in North Berwick, Scotland.  New reader?  Then dive in where it all began by reading the prequel novel, Seeking Solace, and the first novella of the series, Snaring Angus.
